A condom scavenger hunt is part of a new workbook being used in public schools.
The workbook, which has been discovered in both middle and high schools, is filled with hundreds of pages of sexual assignments.
Rhode Island English school teacher and parent Ramona Bessinger, who is also a national advocate against woke ideology in schools, told The Epoch Times that parents don’t know about the workbook or its assignments because it falls under the category of what schools call “consumables.”
“Consumables live on shelves in the classroom. Students do not take them home and once they complete an assignment, their teacher tears the worksheet out of the book, reviews it, grades it, and then throws it away,” explained Bessinger.
Directions on the assignment, which is entitled “Condom Hunt,” instruct students to “research the availability of condoms from a local store or other resources.”
It goes on to tell students to complete the remainder of the worksheet by providing the names of the store they found condoms including giving its address and business hours.
It also asks students to list “what kinds of condoms” were sold at the stores they visited.

I hate to point this out but when I was in elementary school fourth or fifth grade in Oklahoma we learned what a condom was and how to use it.
Soooo

It's almost if parents don't want to face the facts of life that children have always and will always sexually experiment with each other. In the olden days, it was playing doctor.
If schools do not supply condoms then isn't the next best educational course of action would be to help students learn how to choose a condom (how to determine size matters in this case) and to lose the embarrassment. It seems embarrassment is on the top of the list as to why students won't go into a store and buy condoms.
Condoms can save lives and with syphilis on the rise, protection from diseases that cause death should be a high priority.

Thats quite a reach... So You advocate for this kind of behavior? Theres one thing teaching what, how and why but this seems to be going far beyond that, especially hiding it from parents.

When we established the practice of social order in our society, we apparently were selfish by telling CHILDREN that "sex" was for adults.
